METATARSALGIA: CAUSES, SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENTS
Metatarsalgia is a painful inflammation in the ball of the foot. The ball of your foot is the area between your toes and the arch. Metatarsalgia is named after the five metatarsal bones in the middle section of your feet that connect to your toes.
Metatarsalgia commonly occurs from excessive injuries in sports involving running and jumping. It can also result from ill-fitting footwear, foot abnormalities or arthritis and other conditions.
CAUZE
The most common cause of metatarsalgia is participation in sporting activities that put pressure on the metatarsal bones in the front of the foot. These activities often lead to overuse of the area. Running, for example, involves putting constant force on the ball of the foot. Abnormal stress on your foot can increase inflammation in the metatarsal area. It can also irritate tendons, ligaments and cartilage around the bone.
Other causes include:
Shoes that don’t fit correctly: Your shoes may be too tight, squeezing your foot. Or your shoes may be too loose, causing your foot to slide back and forth.
High heels or sneakers without proper padding and arch support: these shoes can cause you to put more weight on the ball of your foot.
Extra weight: being overweight or obese puts extra pressure on your feet and metatarsal area.
Some diseases: Bursitis, arthritis, gout, Morton’s neuroma, and small fractures in the toes and metatarsal bones can put pressure on the ball of the foot.
SIMPTOME
Metatarsalgia pain usually starts gradually over time. It may improve when you rest your foot and get worse when you sit, walk or exercise. Your foot may feel like:
walk pebbles in your shoe
have a severe pain or burning sensation in the ball of your foot
your toes are numb or tingling
You may also notice that your pain gets worse when:
stand up
run
go barefoot
participate in a high-impact sport activity
